Easy Roasted Chicken

This is such an easy recipe and really hard to mess up. It is my go to when we have company and I want to feel fancy. I also love the possibility to use leftovers a multitude of ways! (Think quesadillas, chicken noodle soup, chicken salad, etc.) Makes your house smell soooooooooo good!

Preheat oven to 450 degrees

Rinse and dry chicken with paper towels.
Mix together your favorite spices. I use rosemary, thyme, parsley, pepper, and Himalayan Salt. I do not measure, I just eyeball it. Once mixed, add 1/4 cup olive oil (or oil of your choice) and mix well.
Roughly chop an onion in quarters. Cut a lemon (or lime) in half. Stuff onion and lemon (or lime) in the cavity of the chicken.
Rub spice and oil mixture all over outside of chicken.
Place in roaster pan. Cook at 450 for about 40 minutes.
Reduce heat to 350 and cook an additional hour or until chicken is registering 160-165 degrees internally.
